Cherub Choir
The Cherub Choir is for children in regular kindergarten and first grade.  The curriculum guides the children in discovering their voice and exploring the many ways we can make and respond to music. 

Singing, movement and many forms of musical play aid the children in awakening to the music within them. The Cherub Choir sings in worship two times a year and appears in concerts that feature our entire music ministry.

Cantus Choir
The Cantus Choir is for young people in grades four through eight.   The maturing young voice is enriched and explored in this ensemble. Drawing on biblically based texts, the anthem literature introduces the language of sacrament and service.  Vocal range for this choir extends a full octave and a half.  Cantus Choir members learn vocal technique necessary to master this range.  Choristers learn to perceive and produce line and phrase within the context of melody.  Breath control and vocal flexibility are developed, and part singing and principles of diction are introduced.
